What are the fit problems on these ? I have sold at least 100 of these. Now I have a customer that says the flange that the hood closes against is too high on the passenger side. Says the hood sticks up when the hood is against the flange. What have you guys ran into ?
Thanks, Paul

I have one of Bob Drake's grilles on my '34 and have no problems with the fit. My guess would be that there are some alignment issues with the radiator / frame / hood that causes the grille to sit "cockeyed" on the OP's car.

Thanks guys. I figured if there was a problem it would come up here. My customer isn't going to like my answer, but it is what it is. He has already hammered on this thing. I wish he could have sent me a picture before he started bending stuff.
